Ben Cowley, Co-Founder & Director, Pace Six Four
“I could not be happier to welcome Christian to Pace Six Four. Having worked closely with him during my time at Mercedes, I can vouch first hand for the level of talent, drive and passion he will bring to the team. When James and I began discussing options for expanding the business, Christian’s name was the first that came to mind, and everything that has followed has only furthered our belief that he is the perfect fit to join us in leading Pace Six Four forwards both operationally and culturally. I consider myself immensely fortunate to now have not one but two of my closest friends as partners in this organisation and am immensely excited to see what we can achieve together.”
James Robinson, Co-Founder & Director, Pace Six Four
“I first met Christian through Ben a few years ago and was immediately impressed by his knowledge of, and passion for, every aspect of commercial operations within the motorsport industry. Between Ben and I, we recognised an expertise gap within the company, and Christian was the obvious choice to fill that void. Signing Christian is a significant statement of intent for our continued growth as an organisation and his expertise will be fundamental to achieving our ambitious targets for 2025 and beyond, ensuring we provide a comprehensive, full-service commercial offering to our clients.”

When Ben and James first approached me, I could instantly see the value in a three-way collaboration, and I truly believe in the collective vision we have developed for the next phase of the company’s growth. The complete in-house capability we can offer to our brand and rights holder clients has immense potential. I’d like to extend my gratitude to Ben and James for their faith in appointing me as a Co-Founder & Director. I can’t wait to get started.”
